Blog # 8 Image Poem Poem Crazy Practice 6

I love art...I am jealous of all who can create it! Some of my greatest memories are of spending time communing with great art.  While in the South of France I visited Matisse's studio/gallery...while in Amsterdam I had the pleasure of seeing the Cezanne exhibit, and another time a Van Gogh one...great art speaks to my soul.  I loved afternoons at the National...their postcards section is phenomenal and an afternoon with Van Gogh's sunflowers...well they are my favorite flower.☺ The Espace Dali and The Louvre were wonderful...but a dream would be to someday go to the Dali Theatre in Catalonia....for now I dream and collect my postcards and imagine the scenes.... what are the stories?  It was a game my grandmother and I would play when I was very young creating the stories for the paintings...what was it that Blue Boy was off to do and I often would set them up with lovers as well, his was the lovely Pinkie, how could they not be a couple I had told her as we meandering and absorbed the beauty.

It was truly kismet that her husband had the same painting as she. I have always collected art postcards they are the next best thing to the original for me.☺  I love that image and imagination come from the Latin word "imago", carrying feeling.  I think the images like the poems can put us in touch with our own feelings, and even unexpected feelings."
